Is The Grass Greener on the Other Side: Dating Scenes in Different Cities

As women living in Atlanta, we are always bombarded with discouraging statistics about the female to male ratio, amount of gay men, and marriage. One of those statistics that EVERYONE in Atlanta has heard of is that

"there are 20 women to every 1 man in Atlanta"

...this ratio is the reason that many men pack their bags and head to move here in hopes that Atlanta is the never ending frat party and ass parade they have heard about.

We must say it does not seem to be a boat load of women versus men out and about when we hit the streets of Atlanta so we are not too sure how true this ratio we hear of really is. In addition, statistics often don't take into account everything (homosexuality on both parts of men and women, those with mental illnesses, etc.). We have heard a lot of women say, "Where are all the good men in Atlanta? I'm going to have to move if I want to be in a serious relationship."....but is the grass really greener in another city? Are these discerning statistics we hear even really true? We have researched those statistics for you which may shed light on the dating scene in another city's pastures.
